Find a nice gutter, use a paternoster rig, size 4 hook on top, 3/0 on bottom, sinker to suit. Put a pippie on top hook and half a pilchard on bottom ( tail is best). When you get a bite wait for 30 seconds before striking and you will most likely get a double hook up. Usually it is a smaller salmon on the top hook first which creates a commotion so bigger fish come in to have a look and take the bigger bait, then the action starts.

Wondering if someone could give me some pointers on fishing streams

Thanks Dave Have seen Coila from a distance wil have to give it a try. I might go mid week and avoid the Canberra rush.

Thanks Cheap Charlie You are a man after my own heart, I love to make/adapt things so I will be on the look out for a led light. Thank you for all the advice. Just did a search on online shop and found aquarium underwater light 10w 900 - 1000 lumen 12v and floodlight 10w might go for the aquarium light as it looks smaller and lighter but gives out a lot of light. My bike lights are that sort of lumen rating and they are like car head lights.

Hi Everyone I am a crow eater who moved to Canberra area 3 years ago. I am keen to have a crack at catching some prawns. I have never done this before so can some one give some directions on filling my bucket. I have figured out that I need a long handled net and light. I have a very good led bike lamp that fits on my helmet so i figured that might be a good start. Can I have input as to where to go and when is the best time. Where doesnt matter really Nowra to Merimbula are all similar driving times, but there are obviously good and bad locations. I guess I will do this about twice a year so taking all your prawns is not an issue. Early
